Optimal damping for a suspended structure under lateral loading
… the energy input on a suspended structure due to lateral loading. The specific building examined is the suspended structure that was designed by Structures Group A for the purpose of the Master of Engineering High Performance Structures Group Project, Spring, 1998. Specifically, the effect on the …

Investigation of the Resistance of Pile Caps to Lateral Loading
… be expected to provide significant resistance to lateral loads. However, practical procedures for computing the resistance of pile caps to lateral loads have not been developed, and, for this reason, cap resistance is usually ignored. Neglecting cap resistance results in estimates of pile group …

Single shear vs. double shear for nails in lateral loading
… joints to determine (1) the relationship of the lateral load-carrying capacity of nails in single and double shear, and (2) to develop a basis for structural design data for laterally loaded nails in double shear applicable whenever deformation is a governing factor, such as in joints of trussed …

Behaviour of multi-storey cross-laminated timber buildings under lateral loading
… to high seismicity would be subject to higher lateral loads due to wind and earthquakes than CLT buildings which have already been completed. The lack of structural design codes and limited literature regarding the performance of CLT buildings under lateral loading are barriers to the adoption …

Sensitivity Analysis of Self-Loosening Behavior forMesoscale Bolt Assemblies Under Cyclic Lateral Loading
… multimesoscale bolt assemblies under various loading conditions, an area previously focused only on larger bolts. A case study was conducted in collaboration with a mesoscale multi-bolt system that was experiencing self-loosening failures. This system was tested to determine its susceptibility …

Statnamic Lateral Loading Testing of Full-Scale 15 and 9 Group Piles in Clay
Studies of seismic and impact loading on foundation piles is an important and a focused interest in the engineering world today. Because of seismic and other natural events are unpredictable, uncontrollable and potentially unsafe it is a vital study to understand the behavior and relationship …

Joint Shear Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Connections Subjected to Seismic Lateral Loading
An extensive experimental RC beam-column connection database (of 341 subassemblies in total) was constructed. RC joint shear behavior (joint shear stress v. joint shear strain) was described as an envelope curve by connecting key points displaying the most distinctive stiffness changes. At the …

Load and resistance factor design of drilled shafts subjected to lateral loading at service limit state
… for design of drilled shaft subjected to lateral loads using reliability-based analysis. On a national level, the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications (AASHTO, 2012) specify that a resistance factor of 1.0 be used for design of drilled shafts subjected to lateral loading at service …

New design methods for sheet pile cellular structures
… To study the response of cells to lateral loading, a new crosswall model that simulates sheet pile slippage was implemented for plane-strain analyses. Cell deflection trends were investigated by performing analyses of lateral loading and developing correlations between computed …

A numerical study of the suitability of rigid inclusion ground reinforcement beneath caisson quay walls
… Apart from their brittle behaviour under lateral loading, rigid inclusions are well suited to the large uniform loads and stringent post-construction deflection tolerances associated with container terminal structures. Their inherent strength and stiffness means they have certain …

Methodology to predict the strength and stiffness of red alder block pallet connections fastened with helically threaded nails
… pallet connections subjected to repetitive loading. Joint tests were conducted to define the mechanical properties of bottom block pallet connections. The primary tests were conducted to define the strength and stiffness of joint specimens tested in cyclic lateral loading, using three …

Ultimate capacity of offshore platform conductor strings
… The test matrix calls for various amounts of lateral loading to be imposed on the conductor system. Axial load, applied to simulate the weight of inner casings, is then applied until failure. Results indicate that internally applied axial loads do not induce stability related failure in the …
